Do you need an alignment when you buy new tires?
2009年7月7日 · If the old tires showed even wear across the tread on all 4 wheels and there is no evidence of “cupping” then an alignment may not be necessary.

Tire rotation and new pairs of tires, explain something to me
2015年8月11日 · So the rule is, when getting a pair of tires, you put the new tires on the rear, because you want to lose traction in the front instead of the rear, which is much easier to recover from than losing traction in the rear but not the front.

"TPMS" Light on after new tires - Car Talk Community
2010年12月17日 · Two weeks ago I bought 4 new tires form my 2008 Honda Fit Sport, then had an alignment. A week later, the “TPMS” light - not the (!) light indicating low pressure - came on and stayed on. The manual says to take the car to the dealer. I instead took it to the tire shop.
